Teamsters President on UPS strike: 'I’m certain it could' trigger recession
One of the largest strikes in United States history is brewing, as contract negotiations between UPS and its 340,000 Teamster union members stalled last week. UPS and the union, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, have made some progress in negotiations - including heat safety, like mandating air conditioning in trucks and sorting facilities, and forced overtime. But negotiations broke down over what has become the main sticking point - higher pay for part time workers. If a deal is not reached, and if these hundreds of thousands of workers go on strike, It would likely be the costliest, most economically disruptive strike in more than 100 years, according to a Michigan-based economic think-tank that studies the economic impact of labor action.
UPS and Teamsters have reached an agreement, averting a strike (pending a vote by members). Sounds like the drivers got pretty much everything they were asking for:

UPS, Teamsters reach agreement, averting strike
The five-year contract deal includes major pay increases for all UPS employees, including part-timers, the eradication of a lower-paid class of worker, and an agreement to install A/C units in delivery vans.
UPS workers reach a tentative contract deal with management days ahead of strike deadline
Teamsters leaders hailed the agreement, which now heads to rank-and-file union employees for a vote, for its “historic” wage gains, and UPS called the pact a “win-win-win.”

UPS workers reach a tentative contract deal with management days ahead of strike deadline
UPS and the Teamsters union reached a tentative agreement for a new five-year contract covering 340,000 workers at the nation’s largest package carrier, six days before a threatened strike that risked snarling deliveries.
UPS PILOTS WON’T FLY IF TEAMSTERS STRIKE
The union representing UPS pilots says they will not cross picket lines if Teamsters drivers and package sorters walk off the job when the current contract expires Aug. 1, resulting in the immediate shutdown of the express logistics company’s global air operations.
